I have been using Vista 5600 RC1 since it came out. No problems whatsoever
with it unti last night. I had a second hard drive that I installed last
night and Vista picked it right up and allowed me to format the drive. I was
doing this for a friend, so all I did was install thye drive (windows picked
it up) formatted it, then uninstalled it. When I started the machine up it
came to the normal login window, I entered my username and password (which I
know is correct) and it gives me this error.

"You cannot log on because the logon method you are using is not allowed on
this computer. Please contact your administrator."

Any attemp to logon in safemode, so on, gives me this error...

Any idea's?

Well Trevor i think you should get that Hard Drive and put it back in and try
it then.

All started when you put the Hard Drive in

I found something similar, but not exactly the same scenario.

I have a hard drive with two partitions.

I formatted the second partition to a DOS bootable one, leaving this partition active.
Without changing to make the first partition the active one, I start the installation of my VISTA, and I install it onto the first partition.

Everything is fine until I wanted to boot the PC from that second DOS bootable partition. I use a tool to switch to this partition but it still booted into VISTA.

I doubt, the VISTA installer wrote something to this second partition so it redirects the boot loader to boot from the first partition, no matter what.

Is this normal?
